Starting The Engine/Stopping The Engine - Renault Clio Manual

STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE
Starting the engine
Petrol injection
Engine hot or cold
- Turn the key to the Start
position without depressing
the accelerator.
- Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
Diesel injection
Cold or warm engine
Turn the ignition key to the
ignition on position M, and hold
this position until the preheating
warning light goes out.
Turn the key to the starter
position D, without accelerating.
Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, return the
key to the "Stop" position.
If there is a child (or pet) in
the car, never leave it
unattended with the key in
the ignition. With the key
in the ignition it would be possible
to operate the electrical equipment
such as the windows and there is a
risk that the child may be seriously
injured (by trapping his or her
neck, arm, hand, etc.).
Never switch off the ignition
before the vehicle has stopped
completely. Once the engine has
stopped, the power steering, brake
servo and passive safety devices
such as airbags and pretensioners
will no longer operate.
When the key has been removed,
the steering will lock.
